Gene Simmons' 2026 U.S. Solo Tour Update: Lita Ford Cancels Scheduled Dates, Canadian Tour Announced

Gene Simmons had planned a summer solo tour in the U.S. for 2026, featuring a lineup of '80s hard rock artists. Unfortunately, Lita Ford has confirmed the cancellation of all three scheduled dates. The tour was supposed to include Sebastian Bach, Lita Ford, and QUIET RIOT, bringing classic hard rock to the West Coast and Nevada in July. The three-date run was set to kick off on July 17 in Fresno, California, followed by shows in Murphys, California, and Stateline, Nevada on July 18 and 19, respectively. Despite the cancellation, Simmons has other touring plans for later in 2026, including a Canadian run in late November and December. The Canadian tour will visit various provinces and arenas across the country.
